Winner of the women’s singles event at the XXIX Pan American squash championships in Guatemala, Guyana’s Nicolette Fernandes said the win was surprising and unexpected.
“It’s quite surprising to me because I just didn’t expect it you know. I didn’t know what to expect. I still can’t believe it,” she said in an interview with the media following her triumph Wednesday evening.
“There were lots of times I played this tournament when I was a professional squash player and this title was elusive and I thought that my days for winning tournaments or events like this was long gone. It’s kinda sweeter now because I didn’t think it would even be possible you know,” she added.
